Acumen Fuse: Project Schedule Analysis and Diagnostics
Improve project success, avoid delays, cut costs and measure performance with true project intelligence.
Overview
Quality Schedules Improve Project Success
Accurately forecasting costs, completion and revenue all hinges on a solid, reliable project schedule. Acumen Fuse helps analyse schedule and cost data to create the best schedules and most accurate cost estimates possible. Base schedules have unknown realism and must be validated and critiqued. Built-in project intelligence diagnostics score quality, identify areas for improvement and ensure project plans are structurally sound, realistic, validated and optimised.
